A “ski bum scholarship” contest from Columbia sportswear will give a lucky skier or snowboarder and a buddy the opportunity to have nothing but fun in Whistlerfor a full three months.

To enter, contestants must make a short video (presumably, surrounding their fave winter sport) about 60 to 90 seconds long, containing fun, clean material (no dirty, nasty or naughty bits, no F-bombs) and no licensed musical soundtrack.

The winning package includes round-trip coach air travel for the winner and a friend or, as Columbia puts it, a Ski Bum Buddy, a condo in the heart of Whistler Village, two Whistler Blackcomb season passes, Omni-Heat Columbia gear, a grocery budget of $100 a day, two round-trip shuttles from Vancouver to Whistler, two public transit passes and two GoPro cameras.
